Brief description: The teaching was recorded at Bodong Porong Pelmo Choeding monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Event details: In the sutra system of the path to Buddhahood the entire bodhisattva’s way of life or conduct is founded upon the practice of the paramita(s) or perfections. The six perfections are those of 1)generosity, 2) ethical discipline, 3) patience, 4) perseverance or joyous effort, 5) meditative concentration, and 6) discriminative awareness or wisdom. These six are known as perfections when, for example, the practice of generosity is a) motivated by the altruistic aspiration to attain full enlightenment for the sake of all beings, b) undertaken within a six-fold combination of all the perfections, and c) performed with an awareness of the emptiness of the agent, the act, and the object in question. In the aspirational sense the word paramita or ‘perfection’ is used to denote a means to perfection. When describing the corresponding perfected result at the attainment of Buddhahood, the term means ‘transcendent perfection’, in accord with its literal meaning, ‘gone beyond’.
Geshe Pema Dorjee is an internationally recognized scholar and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism. His fluent English, keen intellect, clear and practical explanations, warm-hearted nature, and infectious sense of humor enrich his talks and discussions with meaning and inspiration. Born in Tibet in 1951, he fled to India and pursued advanced studies at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics founded by H.H. the Dalai Lama. He earned his Geshe degree at Drepung Loseling Monastery and has held senior academic and leadership roles, including Director of the Tibetan Children’s Village and Principal of the College for Higher Tibetan Studies.
At the Dalai Lama’s request, he revived the Bodong tradition, founding a research centre in Dharamsala and a monastery and school in Kathmandu. Deeply committed to humanitarian work, he leads numerous grassroots projects across the Himalayas, including schools, healthcare, and protection initiatives for vulnerable communities. Since 1997, Geshe Pema Dorjee has shared Buddhist teachings internationally, lecturing across Europe, Asia, and the United States.
Gompa member-supporters are cordially invited to register for this special teaching event.

Brief description: The teaching was recorded at Pullahari monastery, Kathmandu, Nepal, and is given in Tibetan with English and Chinese translations.
Event details: The program focuses on the creation and completion stages of meditation as applied to the practice of Buddha Amitabha, Lord of the family of the Protector Avalokiteshvara. The fruit of proper meditation on the form of Buddha Amitabha and recitation of his sacred Dharani mantra is longevity, freedom from illness, good health, happiness, mental clarity, and increased meditative insight and realization in this lifetime. At the time of death and throughout the bardo, one will naturally follow the path leading to rebirth in the Pure Land of Great Bliss. From there, without deviation, one will complete all stages and paths and swiftly attain supreme and perfect enlightenment. Such are the benefits of meditation and recitation of the mantra of Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, in the practice of the Pure Land of Great Bliss.
Drupon Khenpo Lodro Namgyal is greatly admired for his skill in making even the most complex and subtle Dharma subjects inspiring and accessible. He is the Principal of Rigpe Dorje Monastic Institute for Higher Buddhist Studies at Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery, Lava, India, and of the Rigpe Dorje Institute for Buddhist Studies at Pullahari Monastery, Nepal. Studying under the guidance of the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche and the Venerable Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, in 1997, upon completion of a three-year Mahamudra retreat, he was bestowed the position of Drupon Khenpo by the Venerable Khenpo Tsultrim Rinpoche, who recognized in him a rare accomplishment and skill in both study and practice.

Brief description: These suttas (discourses) stress the practice of sati (mindfulness) for the purification of beings, and the overcoming of suffering, and for walking on the path of truth toward the realization of Nirvana. English and Chinese translation available.
[This event was originally webcast in December 2021 as Event ID 1835.]
Event details: The Satipatthana Sutta (The Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), and the subsequently created Mahasatipatthana Sutta (The Great Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), are two of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, acting as the foundation for contemporary vipassana meditational practice. The Pali texts of the Satipatthana Sutta and the Mahasatipatthana Sutta are largely similar in content; the main difference being a section about the Four Noble Truths (Catu Ariya Sacca) in the Observation of Phenomena (Dhammanupassana), which is greatly expanded in the Mahasatipatthana Sutta.
Teaching recorded at H.H. the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, HP, India. Donations made related to this event are strictly voluntary and any donations that are made will go to the Tibetan International Digital Library, a project supported by His Holiness.

Brief description: Karma is a Sanskrit word which means ‘action’. Karma refers to the doctrine of actions and their causal consequences. These three talks by senior teacher Karma Wangchuk Lhamo are given in Tibetan with English translation. [This event was originally webcast in July 2019 as Event ID 220.]
Event details: The concept of karma includes, in its causal aspect, both the actual actions (physical, verbal and mental) and the psychological imprints and tendencies created within the mind by such actions. After the commitment of an action a causal chain is maintained within the mental continuum which continues through successive events and rebirths. Such a karmic potential is later activated when it interacts with appropriate circumstances and conditions thus leading to the fruition of its effects. In general, if we act motivated by greed, anger, or delusion, we are planting the seed of suffering; when our acts are motivated by generosity, love, or wisdom, then we are creating the karmic conditions for openness and happiness.
Karma Wangchuk Lhamo was ordained at Thrangu Tara Abbey at the age of sixteen. In 1999 she entered solitary retreat for three years in Manang, Nepal. Between 2005 and 2014 she completed the nine year shedra studies course at Namdroling monastery in South India. Since 2014 she has been a senior teacher at Thrangu Tara Abbey.
